The old me probably would have spent a weekend away from the family sitting on the couch, watching movies and wasting time on the computer. But as I get older, I’m finding better ways to use breaks like the one I got this weekend.

This morning at Lowe’s, I picked up a small workbench and some more shelves for the garage, which I’ve spent the past few hours assembling. I spent a little time last night over at dad’s house, and I’m getting ready to go finish up my garage project.<\/p>\n
